BLIND SQUIRRELS

[JEAN TEAGUE]

I have recently noticed three blind squirrels in my garden. One is an adult and the other two are juveniles. They all seem to be healthy, but I am worried about this apparent out break of blindness and would be grateful for your help.

What makes you think they are all blind? Expand on their story please....blind squirrels in the wild won't be able to live long.

In all three squirrels one eye has no eyeball and just a dark grey space. They all seem to be healthy in every other respect.

That is extreamly curious that all three would be missing an eye.
Are all that appear missing on the same side of head on each one?

I would have to say this is very concerning. If the squirrels have sight problems then as others have said they wont make it out there long.

Yes, they are.
